The Miracles of God

Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I am doing a new thing...”

We are not just restoring Eagle Lake, God is renewing this place

 
53 campers came to know Christ in the first 3 weeks of camp. 7 weeks of camp were canceled but we praise God for those new to His family!
206 Acres of Eagle Lake’s property was untouched. We only lost 2 sheds, our Riflery Range, 1 Cabin, and our high and low ropes courses.
Vermeer donated a brand new BC 1500  chipper that can take a 15” diameter tree! There are plenty of dead trees that we need to chip!
93 volunteers from the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief cut down over 5000 trees to help in the effort of erosion control. God provided these fantastic volunteers from Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Kansas and Nebraska, complete with chainsaw training and cooking teams.
Thousands of new flowers and aspen trees already growing up in the burnt areas.
400 volunteers have already come to camp to help with the work . They have cut down trees, raked, shoveled, dragged brush,  and spread seed. What a huge help!
